It may be head hunger but I crave something I know is easily accessible at home. I put it in my mouth but the minute I start chewing I just spit it out into the garbage. I have never acted this way. Anyone else go through something like this?

I've definitely experienced this since my surgery 5 weeks ago. I don't usually go as far as actually chewing it up and spitting it out, but there have definitely been times where I smelled something or saw something that just seemed so delicious, and I craved it like crazy, even though I don't actually WANT it. Does that make any sense?

I chalk it up to head hunger and our previous habits of self-comforting with food. That, and the fact that a lot of these foods I've been craving have a lot of sugar, which is known to be addictive. I think eventually I will grow out of it. Good luck to you!

I'm craving carbs. So I did this with a spoon of rice and I piece of mozzarella with prosciutto. I haven't gone to the sugar which was my high addiction.

Yes we will fight this daily until we can break the old habits of bad food that got us to where we were before..
